The Pensacola defense was its best on Friday night in a 14-7, moving the Tigers to 3-0 in district play. They'll now have a shot at the District 1-5A championship against West Florida next week.

Jimbo Fisher might have left Florida behind as far as a mailing address, but the new Texas A&M football coach definitely isn’t leaving Florida’s fertile recruiting ground in the rearview mirror.

Fisher, who left Florida State after eight seasons to take the job at Texas A&M in December, keeps making moves on some of Florida’s best recruits, and added another Pensacola prospect to that list on Sunday with an offer to Pensacola High offensive lineman Hunter Rayburn.

Rayburn, a 6-foot-4, 310-pound junior, transferred to Pensacola from West Florida this offseason after helping lead West Florida to the first state semifinal in school history last season.

The Aggies are Rayburn’s second Power Five offer, following one from Louisville on March 7. According to 247Sports, Rayburn took an unofficial visit to Georgia Tech on March 2 and attended South Alabama’s Junior Day on Saturday.

Rayburn also has offers from South Alabama, UAB, Troy, Southern Miss and Texas State.

He’s also not going to be the only player on Pensacola’s offensive line with an offer from Texas A&M this season. The Aggies already had offered 6-4, 305-pound junior Adrian Medley, a three-star recruit who also had an offer from Florida State when Fisher was the coach.

Medley, a second-team PNJ All-Area pick who has a Crystal Ball prediction of Florida State from 247Sports, also has offers from defending national champion Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Clemson, Nebraska, LSU, Miami and Auburn, among others.

Texas A&M signed just one player from Florida in its 2018 recruiting class, and all six of its 2019 commitments are from Texas, although 16 players from the Class of 2019 hold A&M offers.
